description OBJECTIVES: To answer the questions ‘Why should I do research? Is it a waste of time?’ and present relevant issues. METHODS: Medline was used to identify relevant articles published from 2000 to 2013, using the following keywords ‘medicine’, ‘research’, ‘purpose’, ‘study’, ‘trial’, ‘urology’. RESULTS: Research is the most important activity to achieve scientific progress. Although it is an easy process on a theoretical basis, practically it is a laborious process, and full commitment and dedication are of paramount importance. Currently, given that the financial crisis has a key influence in daily practice, the need to stress the real purpose of research is crucial. CONCLUSION: Research is necessary and not a waste of time. Efforts to improving medical knowledge should be continuous.
